The word ‘psychology’ really fucks me up. In my days, the word psychology would seldom if ever escape lips of a person, these days everyone runs off at mouth about it. There’s been rush on schools teaching the trick of the mental trade like psycho-counseling, psycho-therapy, clinical counseling, CBT and all that jazz. Boys and girls moving mountains to get admission in schools of psychology think they are betting on right pony. Perhaps, they have put it into their head…

Forgive or Forget! One of them has roots in religion, the other needs not have roots, yet yields fruits. Hardly is there a religion anywhere in the world of humans that don’t sing paean of forgiveness.

The questions coming from teachers, the likes of those that bring back memories of lazy rhino wallowing in the mud on a safari, wielding a cane while their beady, glaring eyes looking over glasses gave palpitations and the quivering lips could hardly afford a ‘No’.

And, we do it aided by some other supplementary knowledge already acquired through cognitive development or imprinted on our mind by people, events, or surrounding that…
